Much more involved than i expected - lots of slippery and flaring jams. Getting better at keeping my shit together when pumped, but definitely still difficult when trying to place gear with hands and feet sliding out of cracks.
last climb of the most productive climbing day I have ever had. Big ups to Geoff's no-nonsense-insanely-efficient cragging approach. I definitely learned a thing or two about moving fast. Hard to say if this was the hardest climb of the day because of difficulty or the fact that it was the last climb. also for the record, Geoff was ready to keep going but the rain and my hunger returned us back to camp.
i think Geoff was pleased to see I could jam. I maybe I was pleased with myself and just projecting? Carried a bunch of useful gear for this - that's all the gear beta I'm handing out (Ethan: and no, Mr. Cheese was not one of those useless pieces, despite not getting placed).
Loved it! Very cool. As I was prepping by making a tape glove for the jams, a kind stranger offered his Ocún hand-jammies. I accepted the offer for my left hand, as my right hand was already taped up.
Kind of a mirror image of FlakeCrack at Mt Piddington. Pretty cool. I'd use the downclimb descent next time, as pulling the rope after rapping off the bollard was hard work with lots of friction.
